Kajus bought the armour but he wasn't done spending money yet!
"Besides armour and weapons what else do you sell?" Kajus asked Igor
"Clothes, potions and gadgets I guess, what do you need?"
'already got clothes and I don't really want to use potions again since last time my arm got mutated, gadgets sounds interesting'
"what gadgets are you selling?"
"lets go down and have a look"
Igor and Kajus went downstairs to check the gadgets.
Igor pulled out a small gadget and a harness. "I don't have a name for it yet but it works using your flow! you see with this harness you attach it to your shoulder and using flow it shoots out small needles the size of a toothpick. It won't do any huge damage but I might blind someone or distract." Igor said
"how much?" Kajus was visibly excited.
"1 gold, but I am willing to give this to you for free, anything that can increase the risk of one of my biggest customers to live is a good thing for me" Igor said
"Thank you Igor, you just made a loyal customer!" Kajus said
"while you are here I have some more fun stuff to give you, since you are a loyal customer and all"
Igor pulled out to small boxes, opening the first one revealed several throwing knives.
Kajus looked at Igor and then looked at the knives again.
"sorry Igor but I don't know how to use throwing knives"
Igor laughed "don't worry, it's an easy skill to practice, it's made with good metal as well so you can practice with them without making them dull"
Kajus smiled and nodded.
"this other item is a book, I've already read it and memorized the important bits so you can have it" Igor revealed the book and it was a large one with at least 200 pages.
"a book?! what's it about?" Kajus asked
"It's a bestiary, it has information on all monsters and plant monsters in this area! Information is key. Remember that, you never want to engage with a beast you know nothing about, I've seen many great men fall for lack of information!" Igor said.
Kajus remembered back when he was facing that bunny monster and how easily Cole died even though he was of the knight rank.
Kajus nodded with a solemn look in his eyes.
"thank you for everything Igor you have treated me well and I won't forget it!"
"don't die on me out there, many great dangers are out there," Igor took a small pause. "Many dangers that man is yet ready to face are out there waiting for a chance to wreak havoc" , his tone more serious than before.

1 week passed
During the week Kajus had trained using the knight potions and even bought more, he was very close to becoming a knight and everyday he would grow stronger, he also practised with his glaive, he had become very sufficient with it. The throwing knives where the hardest part of his training he had made a trash target and practiced throwing the knives 4/10 times the knife would stick. He had also read the bestiary and learnt many things but he have not found that bunny monster and that disturbed him a little.
'new armour check, cool needle gadget check, cool clothes check, no potions that will mutate me check. Alright all that's left for me now before I go on another mission is to get knight rank.' Kajus thought.
"Dad I am going back to the clan house, I will be back soon tell mom and Liv that I will miss them."
"Just come home alive Kajus, good luck"
Arriving at the clan house Kajus noticed that there was a lot of activity. 'they must be back from New Drifbedd i guess'
He unpacked his stuff in his room and went to the training room.
'ok knight rank here I come!' Kajus opened the book that he bought from the caravan to ready himself to train, he did a couple of strength exercises and endurance exercises at the end of the training he drank of the knight potions. His body immediately started to hurt but the pain slowly stopped and he felt refreshed.
Going back to his room he was stopped by a familiar person, Moonfred.
"I have business with you"
Besides Moonfred there were 2 other people besides him that looked hostile. They reached out to grab Kajus but he back stepped and avoided their hands.
"buzz off" Kajus said in an angry tone.
Kajus had his glaive on him but he didn't want to use it.
"you will pay for what you did new guy"
As he said this the two people besides him brandished their weapons and walked towards Kajus.
'It doesn't seem they are of the knight rank and I know Moonfred isn't since I easily beat his face in last time'
Kajus was done deescalating and he brandished his weapon "fuck off or you will regret it"
'I don't know if they want to kill me or hurt me but I won't take any chances'
The two dashed towards him and where now only 2 meters away from him the moment they dashed Kajus waved his glaive horizontally, the glaive met them in the air and both of them parried the glaive but they had to step back.
"Moonfred don't do anything you will regret"
"shut it already, you won't talk your way out of this one"
Kajus looked around to see if he could call for help but no one was close. He had 1 throwing knife on him that he used for practice so he let go of the glaive with his left arm and wielded it only using his right arm while brandishing his throwing knife with his left. The two men dashed again but this time Kajus flicked his left hand and threw his knife, the knife landed and pierced one of the men's right hand making him drop his weapon, directly after flicking the knife he swung with his glaive and cut the other man's abdomen making him fall down and clench his bleeding wound.
Kajus looked at Moonfred with a glare.
